President Edgar Lungu says he has rededicated his life to follow Jesus Christ after he visited his tomb in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
President Lungu said faith and the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation now has a new appeal as he knelt and prayed at the Tomb where Jesus Christ was buried.
“As I offered my prayers, I rededicated my life to follow my Saviour and recommitted my family into God’s hands. I also thanked God Almighty for having brought me to the Office of President at such a time as this. I humbled myself and asked for more wisdom as I lead the great nation of Zambia,” President Lungu wrote on his official Facebook page.
He added, “For the Christians across the world, today is Ash Wednesday as we begin our 40 day Lenten journey and pray for the humility to walk back into the Open Arms of God.”
“On this Journey, Jesus Christ teaches us to give, pray and fast in secret, and in this way to give glory to God. In the book of Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18, the words of scripture says “Your father, who sees all that is done in secret, will reward you”.
He said, “Let us all renew our faith before God’s throne of mercy and draw ourselves closer to God.”
“May God’s mercy continue to abide on our great nation even as we reflect on His love for Zambia. Countrymen and women, in this season let us reflect on 2 Chronicles 7:14.”
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their Land.”
“May God continue to Bless Zambia,” he wrote.
Amen n Amen
Good to hear but you dont behave a like a christian Mr President, here are some of the things that dont make you a good christian:
1.You only start going to church when elections are near.
2. You use your temporal powers to oppress others, e.g M’membe and the wife.
3. You lead a violent party and police that has even killed members of the opposition e.g Chipenzi
4. You dont consider others, majority of citizen are very poor and yet you have accumulated huge amounts of wealth within a short period of time…. Maybe sharing the national resources might take you to haven.
5. You oppress the opposition and your election victory is very questionable- Remember one commandments says that you should not steal.
The list is endless and God is watching you, stop using the names of…
Mapenzi Chibulo~is no more b’coz of PF bandits.
Visionless Lungu who was met by Netanyahu(now in Singapore) for 30 minutes should come & release more than 8,000 UPND political prisoners around the country. If visionless Lungu Lungu has repented, let the presidential petition be heard & power should be with the speaker~otherwise no sane person will take Dagama seriously.
Is this the reason why the entire visionless PF cabinet ministers wanted to escort blind Lungu to Israel & repent for stealing the election? The petition must be heard first before God is hypocritically used as a scapegoat for criminality behaviour! Mwaliteta is rotting in jail for merely protecting peoples vote & upon arrival, visionless Lungu much release all over 8,000 political prisoners who PF bandits have…
….persecuted.

What has made him rededicate his life to Christ again, this is the fifth time, is it because of what he did on 11 August 2016? Do you need to touch the tomb for Jesus like Thomas touched his hands to be Christian?
Blessed are those who have not touched or seen but heard for the kingdom of God belongs to them.
Amen church.
If Jesus was still alive he could have beaten up those PF gentiles like he did to those who were trading in the temple. “Get out of my fathers house!”
Fuseki! Bufi bobe!
Try that to people who don’t know you
For a start have you called all political leaders for dialogue? have you cut down on jemisons?
Fimo mulelekafye!
I’m so touched by the President’s humility & intensity of his experience of the life changing moment. He starts by looking @ himself 1st & then gives his view about repentance based on Scripture. Glory! We serve a Mighty Living God!
Ba pole pole? He reminds me of Ka FTJ. You can’t use Gods name in vain. “Genuine repentance” is what God requires.
Ka FTJ tried hard to be deceitful but was ultimately exposed, “you shall know them by their fruits” the Bible says.
Come back to Zambia and do some real work for once, Globe trotting is not the answer.
Hate specialists.
How come they let him take pictures inside the Tomb … No pictures inside the Tomb were allowed when I was there last month. Oh, I just remembered … He is the President!! You can’t lay your hands right on the place where Jesus’ head laid after crucifixion and be the same …
By the way the last picture where the President, Mr. Kalaba and Mrs. Mwanakatwe are praying is not the Tomb … that the Tomb of Mary, the mother of Jesus … it is just a few feet away from the Tomb where Jesus was buried but it is empty because He rose from the dead, Hallelujah!!!
So, LT you may want to correct the caption. The feeling in this place is simply inexplanable … you got to experience it to understand.
Fairy tales lack truth.
Faith without works. Fire Dora for maizegate & for stealing someone’s husband.
By the way why don’t you travel with Esther these days?
I will not talk because Jesus is not Yahushua for I know my Yahushua is not a sun god Ezekiel 8 : 16, this is referred to as an abomination in scripture the head of the Christ covered by the sun actually it’s not even his face as Yahushua was not white and He will never be. These are just politics devised by Hypocrites.
Lol wonders shall never end. Amen anyway. Your deeds must match that rededication too. smh
What is this moslem in a moslem skull cap doing at Christ’s sepulchre?!
Return the votes you stole, minimize on Jameson, stop your hate for Fred M’membe, desist from corrupt deals with Rupiah Banda and then rededicate your life to Christ, that way you’ll have his favour.
Lol! No comment! why not in Zambia?
Too excited about the Israel trip. Surprisingly, we are not getting any updates about high-level business meetings of Lungu nor his entire gang of ministers he took. All we are hearing are visits to tourist places. The only meeting reported about was a meeting with Netanyahu for only 35 min (because Netanyahu was very busy).
Yesterday he was at museum taking pictures with bangwe naville a deadNBC bloody reporter instead of Netanyahu, today he is at Christ’s tomb, with 7 pf cabinet minsters plus protocol officers.
The President is a very young Christian if he is a Christian at all. Unfortunately, he is surrounded by superstitious pastors, bishops and brethren like Mr Harry Kalaba, who come from churches where anything goes. People sell holy water, holy oil and such like things that make for outward religion. Dear President Lungu, keep away from these things and learn to worship God in Spirit and in truth. Seek a sound Bible teaching church.

Next time he is invited to Morocco he’ll become a Muslim
How are the preps for nshima eating competition going with hh. He shouldn’t disapoint his cadres again. Mwine wanshima is seriously doing the practices. I must thank the person who has identified this talent in hh. Next tame him to city market.
Here i am in Israel as a tourist, thanks a million HH for ensuring that deadNBC start showing the football matches.
The best Lungu can do is REPENT that he stole the election results, his trust in witchcraft of being ‘cooked’ in Malawi to dispel resistance of his imposition on the Zambian people should be REPENTED before Zambian people and Lord Jesus openly. He then becomes our brother, without which he is deceiving God and will account for it when his time is up while here below.
MunaDekhane and HH had linkage from ECZ of election results. How possible is that. Sorry the person you gave money to make you win elections stole from you. HH lost and it’s you people making him look useless to the country. Please go to bed and wake up in 2021.
He should be converting to Judaism? Israelis are not Christians in case he has not been informed kikiki Hypocritical mumbojumbo to mask incompetence with excuses of “God’s will” and “fate”
Lungu is a man who is always overwhelmed by the occasion. He pledges and does things in the heat of the moment. He was here in SA when he vowed Zambia should not expand its energy sector because South Africa can supply us with electricity. He saw an Arab King and pledged to support his return to the OAU, He even told him down with Polisario, What @Lombe says will happen, when he goes to Morocco he will become Edi Ali Lungu, Now he is in Israel and he is pledging allegiance to Jesus. He doesn’t even know that the Netanyahus see Jesus Christ and christians as their enemies because jews are still waiting for the messiah
what is the minister of commerce doing on Jesus’s tomb. where is the minister for religion
What a hypocrite. 30min meeting with Netanyahu should have been done on phone. Pretending to be a Christian in the eyes of these docile Zambians. Look at the distraction he is doing to private media ever done before.
Who gives a damn!
you are all fools for writing silly comments. you are just power hungry.
Does this mean that the President will be telling slaves how to treat their christian masters, to make them look better?When will he start to teach other zombies how to walk on water?Now that would be interesting.
Who makes sure he gets his flesh to eat and his blood to drink, every day?
Has he lopped off his hands yet?Murdered everybody who works on the Sabbath?
How exactly will that immoral mentally ill fool follow an imaginary thing that never existed?
IN THE DAYS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT THESE JOKERS PLAYING WITH HOLY SITES WOULD HAVE DIED INSTANTLY WHILE THEIR HANDS WERE ON THAT TOMB. THEY SHOULD THANK GOD FOR GRACE AS HE SWORE NEVER TO CURSE THE EARTH INHABITANTS AGAIN, BUT THEIR JUDGEMENT IS NEAR.
MENTAL ILLNESS?
Blessed is the man who acknowledges the Lord in the eyes of man for, he shall find favor with the Lord. Woe betide the man who pretend, for the Son of Man has said in that day many will say “Lord, Lord did we not cast out demons in your name?”, and the Lord shall answer ” Depart from me you evil doers for I never knew you!” and they shall be cast in hell to forever gnash their teeth. Take heed for the Almighty is never deceived he is an all seeing God a jealous God but just! Save our party Lord anoint us with your presence so that we elect men of your choice to lead our nation anew in 2021
Moronic.
Mr. President, we all appreciate what you are saying but your actions are opposite. Reconcile with HH, unite the country and stop haunting Mmembe, evil as he may be! The person whose tomb you visited’s preaching are opposite to your actions!How about reflecting on these verses : 1 John 2.9 – “Any one who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in darkness” and Luke 6:27 ” But i tell you who hear me; love your enemies, do good to those who hate”, Mathew 5.22 -” But i tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgement.”
I am not a practising a christian but do read the Bible sometimes and get verses from those who go to church every sunday and learn from them and try to put in practice.
Meanwhile Mr Cochrane who arrived in the country before the 2016 general elections said the British Government has recognised the current government that was in place.
“I think it is important that the government reaches out to those who didn’t vote for the ruling party or the President. It’s clear who won the elections. The UK has recognised the results.’’-BRITISH High Commissioner to Zambia Fergus Cochrane
“President Lungu rededicates HIS life to Jesus after visiting HIS tomb in Jerusalem”
Chizungu icho chavuta: Was the President visiting his (OWN) tomb?
Aaah! LT editor, how do i visit my tomb?
Amen, Mr President. I see the mark of a great leader for the nation of Zambia.
Making a public statement for public relations is one thing. Implementing or fulfilling the the promise is another. Let’s not forget the words of Jesus, “not everyone who shouts father father will inherit the kingdom & do unto others what u would like them do unto u”. Mr. president would like to be treated the way Mutinta M’membe is been treated?Would u like the restrictions in freedom of movement HH & GSM are facing? I hope we will exhibit true change for the Bible says we shall know u by your fruits.
Hypocrisy of the worst order. We were there before. I mean we had another hypocrite in the name of FTJ. Lungu you can cheat but your works expose who you really are. A demonic person.
Dear MR ECL,
“SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND,THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD.” THE LORD JEHOVAH IS THE CENTER AND SOURCE OF ALL REALITY AND HE DOES WHAT HE WILLS WITH HIS MIGHTY CREATION, LAMENTATION 1: 22 “LET ALL THE WICKEDNESS COME BEFORE THEE,AND DO UNTO THEM,AS THOU HAST DONE UNTO ME FOR ALL MY TRANSGRESSIONS:FOR MY SIGHS ARE MANY,AND MY HEART IS FAINT” IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE REPENT FROM ALL YOUR OLD DEEDS AND LET JUSTICE PREVAIL IN OUR COUNTRY ZAMBIA,STEP ASIDE THEN YOU SEE THE GLORY OF GOD.AMEN
IF TRULY ECL HAS GIVEN HIS LIFE TO GOD, LET HIM COME BACK HOME AND TELL US THE WRONG HE DONE TO THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA AND HAND OVER POWER TO THE MAN THAT RIGHTLY WON THE ELECTIONS, LET HIM BEFORE THAT RELEASE ALL PEOPLE THAT ARE IMPRISONED UNJUSTLY BECAUSE OF THEIR POLITICAL STANDING AND LET HIM COMMAND HIS MINISTERS PAST AND PRESENT TO PAY BACK MONEY PLUNDERED BY THEM THEN AND ONLY THEN SHALL WE BELIEVE HE HAS REFORMED.
i was there many years before Lungui still do not believe in the book of lies called the bible, infact its when i totally becaame an atheist
Is “The New Holy Chagwa” now going to return the Millions of U$D he looted weeks after landing on State House??
Very easy to cry CHRIST, CHRIST, CHRIST, But Extremely Hard to carry out his recommended deeds.
BWEZANI NDALAMA ZA BOMA, then PILIKISANI BWEZANI!!
I Hope it is a genuine dedication. Jesus would sure be oppesed to the evils and violence that he and his PF have done to fellow Zambians and to Mapenzi. i will give him the benefit of doubt and I hope he changes for the better
Zambians are weak minded that’s why they are parasites!
You reap what you sow.There is no righteous person. All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. For every word one utters in secrecy,in the open will it be revealed.Therefore, being sober is virtue.It is not everybody who hates HH or ECL. Those who want to express their opinion it is their right and at the same time at the appointed time somebody will have to answer the charges for uttering certain statements. These printed words will remain for ever and the author of good or bad language will have to answer at the appointed time. Anybody including myself or your self can be a president. Imagine your word being seed whose fruit is 10 times the number of seed. Going by the same measure,it is clear if you saw insults now, when you become a leader,you will be receiving 10…
